Piea is unusually fragmented for such a small comune, made up of no fewer than eleven frazioni scattered across the surrounding hills — Primparino, San Grato, Vallia, Vallunga, Varandone, Vaccarito, Caffarotto, Rodino, San Secondo, Ingazzo and Chiusa. The parish is dedicated to Saint Philip and Saint James the Less.

Bric del Vento, in Soglio — about 4.5 km, a 7-minute drive. It's a real working vineyard estate with comfortable rooms and tastings of our own wines, right in the heart of the Monferrato hills around Piea.
It's typical of how settlement patterns developed across these hills — small farming clusters that were later grouped under a single municipal administration rather than one central town.
Not really — the appeal here is the drive through the scattered countryside rather than one central piazza.
Bric del Vento borders Piea directly to the south — a natural base for a slow drive through its scattered hamlets. If you're visiting Piea, Bric del Vento in Soglio is the closest place to stay — a real working vineyard estate with comfortable rooms, tastings of our own Juliette and Monferrato Rosso wines, and a quiet hilltop base for exploring this whole cluster of Monferrato villages.
